Ladies,
Today promised to be a hot one, so thank your lucky stars we practice in the morning! Amazing... it was cool enough to force me to put on a sweatshirt before practice started, but by the end I was thankful to have on a tech shirt.
*Announcement!
Bret's mother has contacted... oh, what the heck, let's hear it straight from her:
Bikes!
Today marked the first day of using the bike option, and while our venue wasn't the perfect place to do it, two young ladies made the most of it. Only one thrown chain! Do not be afraid to ask for the option if you are hurting. Better to do it now than later, when it will take longer to recover from injury.
Tech shirts!
There was a little discussion today regarding athletic wear. My best recommendation is to replace your cotton Ts with tech shirts if you have them. Cotton can be brutal on the skin once it gets wet - chafing can leave you bloody! I would gladly lend you some of mine, but somehow I can't imagine some of you petite ladies swallowed up in my adult large sizes. Correction: I guess I just did imagine it! Whatever choice you make, your coach strongly states you must have a top over your jog bras.
Electrolytes!
Take them in. Gatorade, Enduralytes, salt tablets, pick your poison, but take electrolytes. This cannot be stressed enough!
Catfish Festival 5k!
The 5k is this Saturday for those interested. Entry fee is $20, race starts at 8 AM from the ball diamond area (easily visible from Highway 50). This is not a required run at all, feel free to go or not go at your discretion, but it is a nice local race where I believe the bulk of our team would be pretty competitive.
Practice Tomorrow!
Parkview track, 8 AM. Guest runner: Dr. Jimmy Sowders!

Bret's mother has contacted... oh, what the heck, let's hear it straight from her:
"I called Promptcare East. They do sports physicals. They told me that a nurse will most likely do the physical, but then an MD would sign off on it as well. They don't take appointments, just walk-ins. Open 8-8."There you go. If you aren't aware, Promptcare is in Bloomington, and is probably the fastest way to take care of your physicals. Of course if you have a family doctor and can get in, go there if that's your choice, but however it gets done, we need to start working on getting the physicals in. You must have 10 official practices before you can run a meet, and you can't get an official practice unless you have turned in your physical. This is an IHSAA rule, and will be followed to the letter!
